Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 brings more retro sidescrolling goodness

Developer Inti Creates announced Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 during the New Game Plus Expo today. The retro sidescroller action game is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC “soon.”

The first Curse of the Moon came out in 2018. It was actually a stretch goal for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which followed in 2019. Ritual of the Night takes its inspiration from Castlevania’s non-linear, RPG-inspired entries like Symphony of the Night. Curse of the Moon, meanwhile, mirrors the more linear, challenging games in the franchises’ earlier days, like Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse.
